Lead by Example!
Yes, and it’s my philosophy for parenting as well. The expert I am working with to help bring her teachings online (www.MindfulParentingTips.com), and who owns my daughter’s preschool says this…
Our children’s behavior for the most part is an expression of what they live and experience… and when they are real young, well that means they learn it from us parents! so when your child misbehaves, she suggests you take a hard look at yourself and how you interact with the people around you, cause that’s where they’re learning it from.
So in a nutshell, to be a better parent, you must first work on yourself and your relationships with your spouse and your children and loved ones. then as you become a better person, watch.. and your children will magically change their behavior for the positive!
Good stuff… and what do you know? People either love what she teaches or they hate it . Those that hate it are usually unwilling to take any ownership of their kids misbehaviors.
